Jim Mellor appears to lead a double life. As he sits alone contemplating taking his own life, his fiancée Judith Lorne is distraught. His disappearance, following being accused of murder - something Judith refuses to believe – may have some explanation in the fact that another woman, Clarissa Arden, also knows a James Mellor who is more than capable of committing murder. Into this web of deceit and blackmail steps Richard Rollison (aka 'The Toff'). Can he rescue the situation and save the life of an innocent man?
